Values shown are mean ± SEM. n indicates the number of whole-cell recordings. Peak current amplitudes were recorded in the whole-cell mode at −70 mV (e.g., Fig. 3 A). GluN1 constructs were co-expressed with wild-type GluN2A and vice-versa. Tagged values are significantly less (*) or greater (^) than wild-type (P < 0.05, two-tailed Student’s t test, unpaired). ND, no glutamate-activated currents detected. As done previously (Salussolia et al., 2011), constructs were tested on at least two different transfection cycles with wild type tested every other transfection cycle. Constructs that showed no detectable glutamate-activated current were tested on at least one additional transfection cycle.
